Lunar Eclipse and sky observation silmulators

Yesterday night there was a lunar eclipse. Yes I stayed without sleeping to see that.Bad luck, dark clouds made me cry.

At last I was download stellarium software and watch eclipse without any trouble.

Its an open source sky observation tool. There is a portable version also available. 

Mars also became brighter than before

When fully covered

this is how its started

This is how its ended.

At 3.33 am in Sri Lankan time there was a shadow still there in the corner. According to wikipedia  this eclipse was the longest total lunar eclipse in the 21 century.6:13:48 hours in total.

There is a another software starry night. Its not for free. But the quality is better than stellarium. 

Blogs and Me

Just decided to write a new blog in English. The content of this blog not decided yet. But what ever things happens to my life, where ever I go will be plan to post to this blog. And also I want to share my knowledge with the world. 

According to my memory I have around 10 years of experience about blogging. But all of them are Sinhala blogs.  There was an era that blogs were very popular within us. That is a another wave. Its fade away. So many years passed and now there are very limited bloggers are exist. Most of others were become v-loggers (Video + Blog). YouTube became popular media for express Ideas. Most of v-loggers earns from it more than typical blogs. I also tried that. but unfortunately I have no time to waste something like video editing. So I decided to fall back and start a new blog. 

When I was start my first blog my purpose was become popular and collect so many hits. Now i am little bit mature and i do not need hits. Now I just want to give something to world. Something anything to make some one's life better.
